Is Noel Gallagher To Rich To Write?














To be creative, you must be unhappy; to be unhappy, you must be poor. Therefore, you must be short on cash to be a good musician because a band that lacks creativity will end up…with no money? English rockers The Kooks seem aptly named, because their frontman Luke Pritchard certainly comes across as a little off-side. According to Pritchard, Oasis star Noel Gallagher can no longer write successful songs because he has far too much money to be creative. It is for this reason that he wants The Kooks to record as much music as they can before they become famous and are stripped of all artistic abilities. Pritchard recently told Music-News.com, "He wrote all the songs before he got big. You can't write about having a shit time when you're living in a mansion."

First of all, I’m not sure Noel Gallagher has or ever will be happy, so right away it’s an odd claim. Then there’s the obvious fact that all the money in the world does not guarantee happiness, as evidenced by all of the problems within celebrity culture. And finally, since when has it been a rule that chart topping hits be singularly about “having a shit time?” Of course there are a lot of powerfully emotional songs that unfortunately deal with dark issues, but surely musicians don’t depend on tragedy for success. Or do they? I for one am not ready to accept that, so I’m looking for Oasis to prove Pritchard wrong with their next album, slated for release sometime in 2008.
